Ranelagh is an amazing place for all children to learn. The Local Authority have recognised the amazing teaching and learning that happens daily at our school - they have seen the attainment and progress of all children over the last five years and have asked us to share our practice within Newham, encouraging us to become a Resource Provision for children with Autism (ASD).

Last Thursday Ranelagh's very own school football team, comprised of students in Years 4, 5 and 6, travelled to Winsor Primary to compete in two matches against Chobham Primary School and Winsor Primary School. For many on the team it was their first taste of a competive fixture, and also their first time playing on a grass pitch! The boys played brilliantly and fairplay was adhered to by all. The first match against Chobham finished in a thrilling 3-3 draw, with Bleu (Year 5) scoring a brace and Raymond (Year 6) levelling the game up in the dying seconds with an outside-the-box screamer!

The hard working librarians from Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 went to support our local library at Plaistow.  They were shown how the library, now known as a Community Neighbourhood, works and the services it offers.  They also got to use the computer system to join the library and issue books to themselves.

There are always so many exciting events happening at Ranelagh, one of the most recent being a ‘Design your own T-Shirt’ competition aimed at celebrating a love of Literacy. Tasked with creating a T-Shirt design that demonstrated their adoration of reading, children from across the school were transformed into budding fashionistas,  creating their very own decorated garments highlighting their favourite books.
